Patients Covered by Insurance

Your healthcare insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. You should familiarize yourself with the terms of your insurance coverage.  We will submit a claim to your insurance as a courtesy; however you remain responsible for your account.  Amounts not covered by insurance, such as deductibles, co-pays or denied charges will be billed to you.

Medicare

We will need a copy of your Medicare card to verify eligibility and to process your Medicare claim. If you provided this information to us during the registration process, then we have billed Medicare. Deductibles and co-payments are the responsibility of the patient, unless supplemental insurance information has been provided. You should know that the Medicare program specifically excludes payment of certain items and services.  Please review our Medicare FAQ’s page for helpful information or refer to your Medicare & You handbook. If you do not have a handbook, you can visit www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) for assistance.

Medicaid

We will need a copy of your Medicaid card to verify eligibility and to process your Medicaid claim. If you provided this information to us during the registration process, then we have billed Medicaid. Medicaid also has payment limitations on a number of services and items. If you have expended the allowable limits of your Medicaid coverage, you will be billed for services not covered by the program.

Patients Not Covered by Insurance

Patients who are not covered by health insurance automatically qualify for our Uninsured Care Discount (Hospital Access Plus Program). We encourage our uninsured patients to apply for one of our Financial Assistance Programs. Please review our Financial Assistance page or contact the hospital’s Financial Representative at 603-580-6627 for information on available programs or if you require assistance in applying for programs for which you may qualify.

Payment on the account balance is due within 30 days of the initial billing, unless other payment arrangements have been made.  If you are unable to make full payment, please contact our Patient Accounts Office at 603-580-6627 to discuss options available to you. For your convenience, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover cards are accepted.
